18、3. D【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章用生动的语言分板块分别讲述了饮茶的好处与某些坏处、茶树与茶的知识科普以及有关茶的笑话。【1题详解】细节理解题。在“Benefits”部分中, “three or four cups of tea a day will reduce the chances of heart attacks and certain cancers.（每天喝三到四杯茶可以降低患心脏病和某些癌症的几率。）” “Other health benefits include bone strengthening and protection against bad teeth.（其他的健
19、康益处还包括增强骨骼和防止坏牙。）”可知，饮茶有利于减少心脏问题的发生、增强骨质以及预防牙齿问题。而在“negative side”板块中“This means that people at risk of anaemia(贫血）should avoid drinking tea around mealtimes.”我们可以得知，贫血的人不适宜饮茶，故饮茶会增加缺铁的风险，而不是预防。故选D。【2题详解】词义猜测题。根据划线单词后“the fear that tea is dehydrating(脱水）”可知，人们害怕茶会有脱水的作用。而后文专家的解释中说明了茶并不会起到脱水的作用，茶是一种健
20、康的饮品。故此处的“dispel”应为与打消，消除相近的含义。故选C。【3题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“And there is clear evidence that drinking three to four cups of tea a day will reduce the chances of heart attacks and certain cancers.（有明确的证据表明，每天喝三到四杯茶可以降低心脏病和某些癌症的发病率。）”可知， A选项中“cure different diseases”并未在文中体现，文中只说明饮茶可以预防一些疾病的发生，所以选项A错误。B选项中“ca
21、nnot”与文意相悖，文中Re-hydration板块中的专家提及即使喝了浓茶也会相当于摄入了人体所需的液体，所以浓茶也可以起到解渴的作用。而C选项中的笑话则是并不饮茶的人也能理解的。故A、B、C选项皆为错误选项。D选项可以定位至Tea facts中的第一条However, it is cut short so that the leaves can be taken easily.，即茶树会被砍短以方便采收。所以选项D的描述正确。故选D。BIve been writing since before I could write.
